2. ZalthoLIVE: About Pain, Concept of Soul, and Peace (with German translation)

Have unexpected painful feelings ever overwhelm you? Is suchness the same as soul ? Can a Buddhist mantra clear all suffering? Is it true that when I avoid conflict to keep the peace, I start a war within myself? These are questions that Claude AnShin Thomas reflects on. He reminds the listener of how easy it happens that we are driven by our conditioning to expect to never feel confused, angry or sad but to ALWAYS feel happy, to avoid the reality of life, which is to not touch the reality of the unknown. And how this brings suffering. This episode was recorded during a zoom questions&response session with a German-speaking audience.
